Welcome to the GWTW Forum.Guests (non-registered users) can view the forum but are unable to post. If you don't have anything to say then why would you bother to register?One of the most popular sections of the GWTW Forum has long been the Swap Meet. A great place to sell old, seldom flown kites or to get great deals on used (gently flown) kites. Only registered users can see the Swap Meet section, let alone wheel and deal. 1000's (literally) of kites have changed hands thanks to the Swap Meet.There are several more benefits to being a registered user, but you'll have to join our little community to find out all the "secrets".Questions or concerns?

I just got off the phone with Jon trennepohl and he is at a trade show, where he is partnered up with RC flyers we met in Jamaica last year and this year, and a new Division of Premier Kites company has started, named "Premier RC Vector Powered Kites"

Link Removed: Il Duce (One of the few rules Steve has is no direct links to websites selling kites. I'm afraid this falls into that category.)

Jon is supplying the carbon and fabric to the company making these RC controlled kites that can be flown indoor or outdoor. Go to the website and you can see videos of the kites and how they work. They're pretty awsome! What's kind of wierd is that the kite's they chose to make are winged box kites, tetrahedral kites, and a couple others.

Those are pretty cool looking. Probably be alot of fun for zero wind conditions... But I've got to ask myself... buzzy toy or Fearless SUL? My budget doesn't have room for both... I think the FL wins every time.~Rob.

I'd been planning to power up my Carsten Canard for those no wind days for a year or so, beat too it again. Oh well ... A Platz Glider was the next posibility if that had worked. Cool to see the theory's actually working even though significantly different from my thoughts, it does leave me room for my own experiments still.

Not technically a kite anymore but pretty cool regardless.

As the art director for Premier Kites I feel that I can answer a fair amount of your issues. Dear Thief, thank you for your feedback about our graphics. This feedback would be better served if you made a comment directly to Premier. This can be done by going to the contact page on our website. Or you can find us on facbook and make all kind of comments there. As most people who know me are aware of, I am very fond of constructive feedback about our designs, which is why Premier quickly became the industry leader after my arrival, something of which I am very proud. We will bear your feedback in mind, however, we do not put a lot of effort into our cellular kites because even our best selling box kites don't sell that well. Allen Carter, yes, a kite is a heavier than air tethered aerodyne. But, well, what else were we going to call the things? I've really been bothered by the name all along but in all the months of product development I couldn't come up with something better than, RC Nylon and Carbon Rod Constructions. Not very helpful for us in a sales area.Also, as a kite enthusiast I was VERY skeptical about how fun these would be. I hate to admit it, but they are very fun. They were very well received at a local indoor kite fly. We, the staff of Premier, have also enjoyed flying them when we were getting footage for our promotional videos.While this is a great forum for the kite community, Premier will be happy to receive comments on our blog on the PremierRC website. We love to be criticized because it gives us a chance to do better.Warm regards,Susan A. Lennonkite designer, artist, and feisty *****

WOW...interesting concept. As an RC pilot..who recently discovered kites, my hats off to you. Time will tell how the kite community will respond. Many RC pilots have no idea about the current state of the art of kites. I took my kite to the RC field...many pilots were grounded due to high winds. I pulled out my dual line kite..and started giving basic lessons to a few of the guy's. They were amazed. Many of the older pilot's used to fly control line planes...and picked it up fairly quickly.Good Luck

Chris
